Seriously, I worked my ass off on the elliptical last night for 32 minutes on a 3 tension and was sweating but yanno, I think I need a reality check. It's hard to watch shows like The Biggest Loser and see people pouring sweat with rings around their neck and when I work out, I feel like my lack of a sweat ring is a sign that Im not working hard enough.

Problem is that Im working pretty damn hard. I drink lots of water so its not a matter of being dehydrated.

How hard do you sweat?

Im not going to obsess about it because I know how hard Im pushing it. Just curious.

According to my machin, I burned 300 calories during my workout last night.
I don't have the drenched shirt thing going either, but I do sweat when I'm working out at Curves. A little drippy on the head....hair pretty damp....cleavage trickling...definitely need to shower....kind of sweat.

The only times I have had the level of sweating they show on Biggest Loser is when I (used to) go mow the lawn in the Florida heat. I'd be drenched....the sweat running down my back and outlining my butt kind of sweat.

The difference is that I'd be done with that and feel sick and dizzy and nauseous for the rest of the day.

The workout I do at Curves leaves me feeling really good....energized and relaxed all at once. So, I'm guessing it's a better level of "sweat" for me.
